Lunar New Year! 2012

I, Istongo wish you all have a great 2012! Today is the year of dragon first day. It's so quiet in the morning!

It's dying...

The computer which has been with me is "dying". I have been trying to make it last longer but it seems not much use. I've used cans of air to clean it. It was better for less than 2 months. These few days it has been acting weird.

Never had BSOD ever, but I've met it 3 times during the past 5 days...

I am sad it seems it's time to let it go. When we see something is slipping away, we try harder to hang onto it. I am sad today. Very sad indeed...

In the past months, I've been watching some very educational youtube videos. That computer has been with me for so long, taught me so much, made me laugh and happy (and sad of course). I don't want to lose it yet.

I'm using my mother's computer to blog this entry.

Last night I freed a spider. It was crawling in my room, I scooped it up to a bottle. Released it into the wild again.

A song for everyone who is reading this, I love this song

Tumblr

Doesn't have any android mobiles nor iPhone / iPad / iPod. But I've just signed up on Tumblr. For posting captures, images, photos with minimal effort.


Track me there if you want to

The tumblr account doesn't mean I won't blog here any longer, I will still blog once in a while. As you can see I haven't been playing The Sims 3 lately. It's because (1) how I see the Pets expansion contradicts to what my life is about. I love animals, I just don't like having pets - share loves by not paying anybody to kill any animals for their flesh as food (pets food too). (2) Home computer had dusk crisis. Now I've fixed it. Took me almost 3 weeks. No over spinning fans sound again! One happy Istongo :-) HAHA

Leave me comments if you want to, I feel lonely sometimes. Sadly I have abandoned my TS3 friends because just to avoid looking at their sims 3 pets. I afraid I will give in and buy Pets expansion for myself finally because my friends' pets are so cute and unique. Please forgive me...

Having said all these, I bought 2 Pets expansion last night! Surprise surprise, one for my dearest mum. And one for my brother (I promised him after he requested it :) ). So well done EA!!! You got my money for selling virtual pets! How awesome you are. -.- lol

Deja Vu

The older I grow, the more Deja Vu I've experienced. I find them very strange I don't know where I get these Deja Vu at all. Like today when I was really randomly looking at a youtube video. I suddenly remember I saw that same site same situation same video at night right at 0:58 section. Like I've seen the clip before but whereas it is NO WAY possible in reality that I've seen it until tonight because Kylie twitted it!!

So how come?? I finally searched on internet again and found this 6 pages article. It's interesting to know more. While I don't think anyone can possibly know the true facts behind Deja Vu, I think sometimes maybe (just maybe) our minds are really experiencing glitches.

I am, of course, not hoping my brain was glitching when I had Deja Vu. I would love to fantasize there are some other cool reasons why human has Deja Vu (like our lives are written before we were born / another same reality presents on different dimension)

Original sizes... and more (updated)

Original sizes of each of those shown photos at the assignment photo. Plus quite a lot screencaptures which failed to make it to the final cut of the assignment photo. Now you can see most of them, their progression from not knowing to learnt a lot :) I've decided to show some failure/accidents photos too as I think they are funny to look at, don't they?

 

 

one final drink before they head off to moon

(This house basic structure is default from Rflong7's Moon Base Charlie II, but I coloured what's inside - floors, put those trees, decorating the front garden and re-decorated inside room which the flying scene took place. )

(at local park)

(I am thankful for Rflong7's amazing Moon Base Charlie II world, it's filled with interesting building structures, great Alpha One and some hangout bars! Landscape is beautiful, give her rec's and get that world to your game, I highly doubt you wouldn't be happy with this strange world. (NO CCs too!!) well the travelling can be long, but isn't that same with Sunset Valley from one end to the other end?)

(I didn't re-decorated Alpha One, this bar I use default scenery given by Rflong7)

(adults finally)

(I was shocked they have to turn into elders too. I was thinking it is possible to choose between to elders or to adults. I should read more carefully if there will be next time. But so glad for this final age stage, it cleared my concepts of how I wanted Barbie and Ken's future would be.)

by now you should know Alpha One is Barbie and Ken's favourite place for night's out. At their age, they danced extremely well at this dance club. I personally love how late this club closes (at 4am) compared with others on Moon Base Charlie II world.

Their daughter Claire at this time have been developed some intimacy with Leonard Hackle who lives next door.

They finally can harvest with style - with their invention Harvester. I can literally see they will plants lots of prefect qualities veggies and fruits because of this method on harvesting their farming patch. Maybe expanding on the patch in near future :-)

I have uploaded these 3 life stages of Barbie and Ken family to my studio seperately in the coming few days (I will ask Rflong7 for permission if I can upload the house first). If anyone interested playing them, please consider put them in Moon Base Charlie II world. They can show you those cool dances at Alpha One if you would allow them :)

So sorry I got carried away and posted too much photos. Hope they load alright without too much lagging.
